With so many people having so many problems - how about a thread that lifts the gloom somewhat. It will always be the case, understandably, that the ones with the bad news write in to forums. Those without problems do not.
I must report that I have three machines running Avast 7 free - like others I had problems until the release of '1426' - since that time all three have performed without any trouble whatsoever
So as far as I am concerned, its a big thank you to Avast for providing a good AV for free.
I do play around with many other PC's, and frankly when you see what has been configured and altered, and the conflicts that these changes make to the overall potential performance of a computer
A - it is difficult to imagine how their PC's function at all.
B - blame is afforded to the wrong person/party/program
C - In other words, so much lies at the door of the operator
There, I've had my little rant, but thank you once again Avast
